The greatest work of art ever created was made by writers who think subtext is for cowards. It’s called Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. It’s about a cyborg ninja who turns fascists into human confetti. It tackles fundamental themes of human agency from the point of view of nature, nurture, culture, and identity. It deconstructs and then reconstructs the concept of free will while criticizing the military industrial complex and entire entirety of conservative ideology. The final boss of the game is a United States senator who wants to “make America great again” and you rip out his fucking heart after spending an hour debating political philosophy with him.
